The Salt Lake City VA has apologized after the pictures a veteran took of a filthy clinic room went viral.

Army veteran Christopher Wilson, who served two tours in Iraq, told KUTV that he expected better treatment and was disgusted by the state of the room.

Wilson entered the room on April 5 for a podiatry appointment. The pictures showed debris on the floor, a full garbage can, cutting tools, a soda cup on a counter and medical kits left open.

“I figured they would say, ‘oh, this room’s not clean,’ and take me somewhere else, but they kind of just blew past it, didn’t acknowledge it,” Wilson said.

Wilson's father posted the pictures on Twitter, where they went viral, being shared 10,000 times.

"This was the condition of the room he was seen in," the tweet was captioned. "Very unprofessional, unsanitary and disrespectful."

My son is a Veteran of the United States Army. He went to the #VA in Salt Lake City yesterday. This was the condition of the room he was seen in. Very unprofessional, unsanitary and disrespectful. Please retweet. Maybe @realDonaldTrump will see it. pic.twitter.com/P4CMQeE74t
